Summer - Edith Wharton - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Originally born in an impoverished community, Charity’s parents sought out the most educated man in the nearby New England town to raise their daughter. After being surrendered to a lawyer named Royall, Charity was raised comfortably by Mr. Royall and his wife. However, when Mrs. Royall tragically passes away, Charity’s relationship with Royall is threatened. After his wife’s death, Royall begins to feel sexually attracted to Charity, and when she refuses him, their relationship becomes tense. Royall refuses to be close to her, sending proxies to take care of her. Upset and desperate to earn enough money to be able to move away and start a new life, Charity begins to work at the local library. There, she meets a young architect named Lucius, who is visiting the town to gather research for a book he is writing on colonial homes. When Charity offers to escort him around town, the two become very close, much to Royall’s dismay. Intending to marry Charity himself, Royall does his best to keep the two apart, making sure that it is known that Lucius is not welcome in his home. Still, Charity and Lucius begin a passionate love affair, progressing to a physical relationship. With secret rendezvous and passionate promises, Charity falls head over heels, but when Lucius starts missing meetings and spending time with other women, Charity is forced to wonder if he is really the man she thought she knew. When she discovers information that turns her world upside down, Charity is inspired to revisit her roots to help her make a difficult choice. With themes of class, feminism, relationships, and sexual awakening, Summer by Edith Wharton was viewed as a controversial novel when it was first published.

Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls - Sarah Orne Jewett - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls - Sarah Orne Jewett - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

When Mr. Leicester decided his Alaskan trip was too dangerous for his daughter, he encouraged Betty to pick her own location to summer in. Having been to many countries and cities, Betty had to think it over. When she realizes just how much she is going to miss her father, Betty finds her answer. If she cannot spend the summer with her father, she will spend it with extended family. After years of begging Betty and her father to visit, Aunt Barbra and Mary are excited to host Betty in their New England home. Bright and kind, Betty influences everyone she meets, but as she enjoys her summer of new adventures, she can’t help but be caught between her identity as an adult, and her child-like wonder. As a well-traveled young woman, Betty has experience that is uncommon for her age. Yet, in all the places she’s visited, no region was more impressionable than New England. Views of a gorgeous countryside and the Atlantic coast contrast with the depressing social conditions of her aunts’ home village. Happy to be of any help, Betty lifts the spirits of every townsperson she meets as she listens to their story and tries to make sense of her own. First published in 1889, Sarah Orne Jewett wrote Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls intentionally for an audience of young women. Knowing that there were not many books suited specifically for young women at time, Jewett was dedicated to creating a character and story that young girls could relate to. Despite its target audience, Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls continues to be enjoyed by a wide audience. With a slice-of-life narrative, the compelling characterization of Betty as she comes of age, and intricate description of the setting, this Sarah Orne Jewett work is sweet and wholesome. This edition of Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls by Sarah Orne Jewett features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls to modern standards while preserving the original genius and beauty of Sarah Orne Jewett’s work.

History of a Six Weeks' Tour - Percy Bysshe Shelley - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

History of a Six Weeks' Tour - Percy Bysshe Shelley - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

History of a Six Weeks’ Tour (1817) is a travelogue by Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Composed of journal entries, letters, and a poem, History of a Six Weeks’ Tour was published anonymously with a preface by Percy. Detailing their stay in Switzerland during the legendary “year without a summer,” the travelogue was Mary’s first published work and remains an invaluable text for the study of English Romanticism. When Percy Bysshe Shelley met Mary Godwin, he had initially planned to acquaint himself with her father, a famous philosopher. Soon, however, the pair fell in love and eloped with Claire Clairmont, Mary’s stepsister. They journeyed through France, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands before returning home with little money and without the support of their families. In 1816, following the death of their first child, Percy and Mary travelled with Claire to Geneva, Switzerland, where the infamous Lord Byron had rented a villa along the shores of Lake Geneva. Due to a volcanic eruption in Indonesia, temperatures in Europe and throughout the world plummeted, creating the conditions for the “year without a summer.” Forced to remain indoors for much of their stay, the group soon grew tired of telling one another folk tales and ghost stories to pass the time. On a whim, Byron suggested they all write their own works of fiction, igniting the spark for some of the defining texts of the Romantic era. Having never published her own writing before, Mary unwittingly began mapping out her masterpiece. Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus appeared in print two years later, changing the course of English literature forever. This edition of Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s History of a Six Weeks’ Tour is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Stray Birds - Rabindranath Tagore - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Stray Birds - Rabindranath Tagore - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Stray Birds (1916) is a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Translated into English by Tagore after he received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, Stray Birds is a powerful collection of short poems by a master of Indian literature. “Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.” The poems of Stray Birds are a masterclass in clarity and concision. Like birds themselves, they flutter across the sky of the page before passing beyond the limit of sight. In prayer, in celebration, and in evocations of the natural world, Tagore comes as close to the truth as possible, catching a glimpse before it can fly away forever: “Let me live truly, my Lord, so that death to me become true.” In plainspoken language, Tagore gives voice to the soul. This edition of Rabindranath Tagore’s Stray Birds is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Ariel - Jose Enrique Rodo - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Ariel - Jose Enrique Rodo - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Ariel (1922) is an essay by José Enrique Rodó. Originally published in Spanish in 1900, Ariel was translated into English just five years after the author’s death by F. J. Stimson, the former U. S. Ambassador to Argentina. The essay was immediately influential in Uruguay and across Latin America as an essential document of modernismo , a literary movement which sought to unite classical values and contemporary culture through a devotion to beauty and form. “The gifts of the youthful spirit—enthusiasm and hope—correspond in the harmonies of history and natural history to movement and to light. Wherever you shall turn your eyes you will find these, the natural atmosphere in which move all things that are strong and beautiful.” Captivated by a bronze statue of Ariel from Shakespeare’s The Tempest , a teacher known as Prospero speaks passionately to his young students on the eve of summer vacation. Taking a historical view of human civilization, José Enrique Rodó applies the teachings of the Enlightenment to the political reality facing Latin America in the early twentieth century. Promoting morality and idealism over the encroaching utilitarianism of North America, Rodó crafted what one critic called “the ethical gospel of the Spanish-speaking new world.” Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Why Paul Ferroll Killed his Wife - Caroline Clive - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Why Paul Ferroll Killed his Wife - Caroline Clive - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Why Paul Ferroll Killed his Wife (1860) is a novel by Caroline Clive. Published to widespread critical and commercial acclaim, Paul Ferroll gained comparisons to Jane Eyre and predated the rise of popular detective fiction, but has since been largely forgotten. Five years after its publication, Clive returned to the themes which made Paul Ferroll successful; through close analysis of Victorian social conventions and a skillful use of Gothic horror, she produced Why Paul Ferroll Killed his Wife , a sequel in theme as opposed to narrative. Rather than reprise the characters of her last novel, Clive sought to emphasize the universality of tension and violence in the relationships of men and women by creative a separate scenario capable of expanding upon the first. In this novel, she investigates the motives that lead to murder, illuminating the condition of the male psyche with expert precision. A gathering convenes at an English country estate for a summer of rest and relaxation. Leslie, an Oxford student, joins his sweetheart Laura for walks in the woods and dinners with friends and family. Intending to ask for Laura’s hand in marriage, Leslie is entirely unprepared for the arrival of Elinor, a young woman on leave from a convent in Brittany. As his feelings for this religious, reclusive figure grow, he finds himself questioning his heart while slowly losing control of his formidable, yet vulnerable mind.

Seven Keys to Baldpate - Earl Derr Biggers - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Seven Keys to Baldpate - Earl Derr Biggers - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Seven Keys to Baldpate (1913) is a mystery novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Although he is widely known as the author of a bestselling series of novels featuring Chinese American detective Charlie Chan, Biggers worked for years as a struggling mystery writer with moderate success. Seven Keys to Baldpate is one of his most acclaimed works of fiction from that period in his career, due in no small part to George M. Cohan’s celebrated stage adaptation of the same year. Cohan’s version has since served as source material for at least seven feature length films. “‘Yes, it''s a little more lively in summer, when that''s open," answered the agent; ‘we get a lot of complaints about trunks not coming, from pretty swell people, too. It sort of cheers things.’ His eye roamed with interest over Mr. Magee''s New York attire. ‘But Baldpate Inn is shut up tight now. This is nothing but an annex to a graveyard in winter. You wasn''t thinking of stopping off here, was you?’” When William Magee arrives at Baldpate Mountain from his native New York City, he discovers that the hotel where he will be staying is virtually closed for the winter. Despite this setback, Magee manages to secure a key to the Baldpate Inn. There, he begins to work on what he hopes will become his first serious novel, his big break after years as a pulp fiction writer. Soon, other guests begin to arrive, each of them harboring a dangerous secret. This edition of Earl Derr Biggers’ Seven Keys to Baldpate is a classic of American mystery fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Moonfleet - J. Meade Falkner - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Moonfleet - J. Meade Falkner - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Moonfleet (1898) is an adventure novel by J. Meade Falkner. Largely forgotten by today’s readers, Falkner was more widely known in his lifetime for his nonfiction works on history and topography as well as his role as chairman of a major arms manufacturer. Far from the amateur musings of a bored millionaire, Falkner’s writing shows a mastery of genre fiction while benefitting from his extensive geographical knowledge. Moonfleet has been adapted several times for radio, television, and film, most notably for Fritz Lang’s 1955 feature of the same name. “When I was a child I thought that this place was called Moonfleet, because on a still night, whether in summer, or in winter frosts, the moon shone very brightly on the lagoon; but learned afterwards that ''twas but short for ''Mohune-fleet'', from the Mohunes, a great family who were once lords of all these parts.” Growing up in Moonfleet, young John Trenchard couldn’t help but hear the legends of the powerful Mohune family, whose ancestor Colonel Blackbeard is said to have stolen a diamond from King Charles I. An orphan, he is raised by his aunt, Miss Arnold, who tries to protect him from the violence and crime perpetuated by local smugglers. At church one Sunday, John hears noises from the crypt below and endeavors to return. The next day, he encounters two of his friends beside the church wall, and suspects they are searching for the ghost of Blackbeard. As he steps into a sinkhole in the graveyard, he finds himself in a tunnel leading to the crypt, where the telltale signs of smuggling reveal a shocking secret.

Published shortly after Turner’s execution, The Confessions of Nat Turner is comprised of an interview with the revolutionary in the days leading up to his death, as well as independent research conducted by Gray, an attorney who represented some of the rebels involved. “And on the 12th of May, 1828, I heard a loud noise in the heavens, and the Spirit instantly appeared to me and said the Serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke he had born for the sins of men, and that I should take it on and fight against the Serpent, for the time was fast approaching when the first should be last and the last shall be first.” Known as “The Prophet” by his fellow enslaved people, Nat Turner was an inspiring preacher who planned and executed an insurrection against the white slaveholding class in Southampton County, Virginia in the summer of 1831. Although his rebellion was crushed, leading to the execution and lynching of over a hundred African Americans in the area, his message of liberation lived on, inspiring generations of abolitionists and revolutionaries in opposition to slavery and oppression throughout the United States and the world. This pamphlet, published shortly after his trial and execution, contains a powerful interview conducted by Thomas Ruffin Gray, an attorney who worked on the case and met Turner in the jailhouse where he was held. This edition of The Confessions of Nat Turner is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Gods of Pegna - Lord Dunsany - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Gods of Pegna - Lord Dunsany - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Gods of Pegāna (1905) is a short story collection by Lord Dunsany. Published at the beginning of his career, The Gods of Pegāna would influence such writers as J. R. R. Tolkein, Ursula K. Le Guin, and H. P. Lovecraft. Recognized as a pioneering author of fantasy and science fiction, Dunsany is a man whose work, in the words of Lovecraft, remains “unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision.” “Whether the season be winter or whether it be summer, whether it be morning among the worlds or whether it be night, Skarl still beateth his drum, for the purposes of the gods are not yet fulfilled.” The Gods of Pegāna , Dunsany’s debut collection of stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy and adventure. The Mana-Yood-Sushai created the gods of Pegāna before falling asleep in the middle of Time. The only thing keeping him from creating new gods and worlds is the drummer Skarl, who can never cease his playing. In their creator’s absence, dozens of small gods and a thousand local deities have free reign to create the worlds and realities they want. As they compete to outdo one another, the order and peace of Pegāna hangs in the balance. Humorous and inventive, Dunsany’s tales of high fantasy continue to delight over a century after they first appeared in print. This edition of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna is a classic of Irish fantasy fiction reimagined for modern readers.

If he would like to stay there, he will need to employ the four domestic servants already living at the property. Desperate to settle down, Burton agrees to meet with them first: the butler, a kind and intelligent man; the cook, a beautiful woman; the housemaid, a sullen young lady; and a young boy whose job is to do everything else. Slightly unsettled by their manners and accents, Burton agrees to keep them on and soon makes his way to the mansion, where he immediately plans to host a small party of friends. When the day of the party arrives, however, the behavior of the servants begins to change.

Flint and Feather - E. Pauline Johnson - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Flint and Feather - E. Pauline Johnson - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Flint and Feather (1913) is a collection of the complete poems of E. Pauline Johnson. Revered as one the foremost Canadian poets of her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution faced by indigenous peoples across North America. “The lyrical verse herein is as a ‘Skyward floating feather, / Sailing on summer air.’ And yet that feather may be the eagle plume that crests the head of a warrior chief; so both flint and feather bear the hall-mark of my Mohawk blood.” So states Johnson in the foreword to her complete poems, Flint and Feather , a collection that captures not only her range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition, but her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of Mohawk and English heritage. Choosing to emphasize the former, Johnson, who also went by Tekahionwake, her great-grandfather’s name, adopts the persona of an Indian wife who, watching her love depart, wonders what he will “suffer from the white man’s hand.” In fear, in anger, in desperation, she proclaims “By right, by birth we Indians own these lands, / Though starved, crushed, plundered, lies our nation low…” In the face of defeat, she offers a poetry in tune with the “ghost upon the shore,” the voices one hears “when the Northern candles light the Northern sky.” Johnson’s voice is thus both one of resistance and mourning, her song one of a land of plains and rivers, of fields that await the harvest despite the “prying pilot crow” whose “thieving raids” descend “[a]t husking time.” This edition of E. Pauline Johnson’s Flint and Feather is a classic of Canadian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Windy McPherson's Son - Sherwood Anderson - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Windy McPherson's Son - Sherwood Anderson - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Windy McPherson’s Son (1916) is a novel by Sherwood Anderson. Both fictional and autobiographical, Anderson’s debut novel is a coming of age story that explores themes of unhappiness and infidelity while illustrating the frustrations of the son of an abusive father. Although he is known today for his story collection Winesburg, Ohio , a pioneering work of Modernist fiction admired for its plainspoken language and psychological detail, Anderson’s Windy McPherson’s Son is a powerful work of fiction that helped establish him as a leading realist writer of his generation. “At the beginning of the long twilight of a summer evening, Sam McPherson, a tall big-boned boy of thirteen, with brown hair, black eyes, and an amusing little habit of tilting his chin in the air as he walked, came upon the platform of the little corn-shipping town of Caxton in Iowa.” With a cigar in his hand and a bundle of newspapers under his arm, the young Sam McPherson appears both overly proud and ambitious for his age. Those that know him, however, understand that he has no choice. Left to fend for himself by an alcoholic father, Sam dreams of making a name for himself and escaping the small town of his birth. When an ill-fated affair with an older teacher leaves him disgraced, McPherson abandons his father for Chicago, where he finds work as a purchaser of farming equipment. Soon, he falls in love with his boss’ daughter, the beautiful Sue Rainey. Windy McPherson’s Son is a story of the American Dream, for all of its difficult truths and convenient fictions. This edition of Sherwood Anderson’s Windy McPherson’s Son is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

A Child of Sorrow - Zolio Galang - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

A Child of Sorrow - Zolio Galang - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

A Child of Sorrow (1921) is a novel by Zoilo Galang. The novel, Galang’s debut, has been recognized as the first work of published Filipino fiction written in English. Modeled after popular nineteenth century romances written in Spanish and Tagalog, A Child of Sorrow is a classic coming of age tale engaged with themes of friendship, desire, and the loss of innocence. Simple and heartfelt, A Child of Sorrow remains a groundbreaking work of literature from an author who dedicated his career to education and the arts. “In one of the rural and sequestered plains of Central Luzon, called the Fertile Valley, where the rice fields yielded the cup of joy to the industrious farmers, and where the harvest filled aplenty the barns of the poor, there lived simple, homely people, free from the rush and stir of city life.” In this idyllic setting, Lucio and Camilo discuss their plans for summer vacation. While Lucio, a dreamer “who painted brilliant lives on the nice canvas of memory,” wants to immerse himself in his collection of books, Camilo wants his friend to join him in the world beyond words. Together, they take a trip into town, hoping for adventure and camaraderie—and, if possible, to meet a young woman to fall in love with. Despite Camilo’s encouragement, however, Lucio longs to write poetry, to commune with the natural world with nothing but his own thoughts to keep him company. One bright morning, he runs into Rosa returning home with a pitcher of water. Before he can collect himself, Lucio confesses his undying love. This edition of Zoilo Galang’s A Child of Sorrow is a classic work of Filipino literature reimagined for modern readers.
